WINDOW.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 15, 1921..

Application filed February 13, 1920. Serial No. 358,461.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHN V. Sues, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dawson Springs, in the county of Hopkins and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in l/Vindows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of this invention is toprovide a window which may be revolved to bring either surface of the window pane within convenient reach of a servant standing within a room, so that both sides of the window pane may be washed without the servant leaning outside the window.

The accompanying drawing illustrates an exemplary form of window embodying my invention.

Briefly described:

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a window, portions of the same being broken away and parts being shown in section.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view on the line 2, 2 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Fig. 3 is a view of the window revolved so as to present the same at right angles to the position shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional diagrammatic view of a window constructed in accordance with my invention, the window being shown partially revolved.

Referring now in detail to the drawings:

1 designates a window frame which is provided at top and bottom, centrally of the width thereof, with pivots 2, 2, projecting into bearings 3, 3 countersunk, as shown, in the main frame a.

The window frame is provided with the usual weights 5, 5, two of said weights being disposed on each side of the frame.

Transversely disposed at the lower end of the window frame is a guard plate 5, hinged at one end, as shown at 6, to the wall 7, and provided at its other end with securing means such as a staple 8, adapted to be engaged by a hook 9, carried by the wall 7. The guard plate is provided, at its upper edge, with a longitudinally-extending lip or flange 5 which, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3,

terminates short of the ends of the plate, said lip, when the guard plate is closed, bearing against the inner face of the window frame, as shown in Fig. 2. When the guard member 5 is disposed in the closed position thereof, shown in Fig. 2, movement of the window frame on its pivots is prevented. The window frame is thus looked as against movement thereof, from the outside, 011 the pivots 2, 2.

It will be noted that when the window is in the position shown in F ig. 1 it presents the same appearance as an ordinary window.

The swinging frame is provided with inner and outer facing members 10 and 11 and the main frame is also provided with inner and outer facing members 13 and 14. Said facing members form the sides of the window weight wells or pockets.

What I claim to be new is:

1. A window comprising a main frame carrying central pivots, a swinging frame mounted on said pivots and within the said main frame, sashes hung within the said swinging frame, sash weights for said sashes and means for normally preventing the rotation of said swinging frame, said main and swinging frames having inner and outer facing members adapted, when said swinging frame is in normal position, to form with the ambs of the swinging frame and the opposite sides of the main frame, pockets for said sash weights.

2. A window comprising a main frame carrying central pivots, a swinging frame mounted on said pivots and within said main frame, sashes hung within the said swinging frame, sash weights for said sashes and means for normally preventing the rotation of said swinging frame, said main and swinging frames having inner and outer facing m mbers adapted, when said swinging frame is in normal position, to form with the jambs of the swinging frame and the opposite sides of the main frame, pockets for said sash weights, said means comprising a a guard plate hinged at one end and disposed transversely of the bottom of said frame, and having at its upper edge a longitudinal inwardly extending lip conforming to the main frame, and said guard plate and said lip adapted when in closed position to bear against the inner faces of both frames.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature.

JOHN V. SUGG.
